Subject: When a Half-Hour Seems Like Two Hours
The NET house was a welcome sight at the end, but this TV episode is strictly for those who like sleepy narration, repetitive animation and shots of tape-driven IBM computers. Very dry.

Subject: The machines are so small! They can just fit in one room!
There's all sorts of things happening in this movie. Logic By Machine explains of how computers are making everything easier.While looking at footage of old computers at work is fascinating, Logic By Machines is terribly slowed down by the blowhard mathematicians that pop in from time to time and chime in on mathematical theories involving computers.
Also what I find interesting is IBM's insistence of keeping the animation as sparse as possible, although not made by the Eames (thank goodness!) the style is pretty much the same.
All in all, keep your fast forward button handly.
